An awesome punk/rock band. Sum 41 is very talented and when performing live, they sound almost the exact same as they are on the album. (A lot of times, even better.). Deryck Whibley can write extremely powerful lyrics and his talent really shines in Screaming Bloody Murder, the 5th studio album that they released. Their fans are called "skumf*ks" and only the best fans can call themselves that. The band is currently made up of 4 members:

*Tom Thacker replaced Dave Baksh- the original member of the band before his departure in 2006 to focus on his band Brown Brigade.

The band started out as a NOFX cover band called Kaspir with just Steve and Deryck. After that, they changed the name to Sum 41. Sum 41 was formed in 1996, 41 days into summer. (Hence the name.)

Before Dave left the band, Sum 41 had an alter ego band- Pain for Pleasure. They would dress like a 1980's heavy metal hair band by wearing leather jackets and crazy wigs. Stevo is the lead singer while Deryck plays the drums.

Sum 41 has released 5 studio albums so far.

Guy 1: Hey, did you see the Sum 41 concert last night?
Guy 2: Yeah, it was fucking awesome!

A band like none other, a perfected excellence that cannot be matched, their sound perfected in every way will never be matched by any future band. their sound goes together perfectly deryck cone and broundsoud rippin it on their guitars and steve. they are a band, not to be exceeded by any others, a perfected excellence.

sum 41 rocks, but thye should come to Wichita,Kansas where all their biggest fans are.

a band from canada that is a target of critisism from real "punks" who have nothing better to do with their time other than to put down a band that has had sucess while their favorite bands still haven't been to an award show.
